Also, yes SONYMA is a pain in the butt, and banks / credit unions always ask for documents multiple times and at the last minute.

Or just deal with pain in the butt tenants hitting you up while you're at your 9-5 to point out that a bee got into their house and they don't know why.How do you deal with it?

The lender has been a pain in the butt to work with to get the funds released.

Fixit persona and start spouting crap about electrical, plumbing, HVAC, plastering, things that it's painfully obvious they know nothing about: "All you have to do is skim-coat that, just stick those tiles right back on..."

If they're not familiar, it can be a royal pain.

What's pain threshold on terms?  

I just found it to be more of a pain to deal with a bookkeeper than to do it myself, and it is not that much additional work. 

Hi all.I am looking into the BRRRR strategy and have found some properties that I may be able to buy for a bargain and apply the BRRRR to pull out my down payment (and hopefully my rehab costs).My wife is daunted by the idea of doing a rehab since we have zero experience and she would rather just try to buy the house, do basic clean-up and then rent it out.The difference here would be that my money is stuck in the house for 15-30 years and I would not be able to "repeat" the process for very many houses.How can I convince her that the benefits of the BRRRR method is worth the risk and pain of the rehab?

I hope that I don't lose touch with the thought process of the rest of the 99% of people....I don't want to feel their pain but I want to at least be able to understand!

Wow this was painful to read.
